Now, since I have the smoothtop, when I put away my pyrex measuring cups
(six 2-cups) and (four 4-cups) over the stove, I now wonder when I'm going
to drop one onto the smoothtop. I did drop one previously onto electric
coils and it broke into smithereens. I do buy pyrex instead of the other
brand, as I feel it is sturdier, but it didn't keep it from breaking. I
don't know what it would do to the smoothtop. I'll be looking for someplace
else to put them, if and when I replace the range, as a hood will keep me
from dropping them unto the stove. This has been really useful space and
I'll miss it.
